Topic: Bill Dickey


  
  Bill Dickey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dickey was also noted for his ability to handle pitchers and his strong throwing arm.
Dickey had been regarded as Gehrig's best friend on the team, and while the title of Yankee captain remained officially vacant until it was awarded to Thurman Munson in 1976, Dickey was seen by many as the Yankees' new leader on the field.
Dickey's calls him "An elementary Yankee" who "is considered the greatest catcher of all time." This is in dispute, since Berra's performance has led some to regard him as the greatest in baseball history, or at least the greatest in Yankee history.
